Featured Dance Classes — September
Salsa Workshop for Beginners
Thursdays, 7:30 – 8:15 p.m.
Dates: Sept. 2 & 9
If you’re new to salsa, or just want a refresher before hitting the dance floor, Dance Station is starting a two-week salsa workshop for beginners on Thursday, Sept. 2. The second workshop in the series will be Thursday, Sept. 9. Both workshops run from 7:30 – 8:15 p.m. The cost is $20 per workshop.
Dance Station instructor Mary Miller will teach both workshops. The first is geared toward total beginners, or anyone who needs a quick reminder of salsa timing and basic steps. The second workshop will also be a beginner-level class, but dancers will be expected to understand salsa timing and the salsa basic.
Salsa is a popular dance in Santa Fe and Albuquerque — come to these workshops and you’ll be ready for a night on the town!
Note that we currently require all students and teachers to wear face masks while in the studio.

Just getting started in dancing? Our Intro to Social Dance class is tailored for beginning dancers with little or no experience. Each class will introduce the basic skills of partnering (leading or following), timing, and basic movement.

This class is excellent for repetition practice for newer dancers, and a wonderful way to get started in the world of dance.
